The 350ha Monte Schiavo estate in Marche is a testament to the Pieralisi family whose background was in olive oil manufacturing equipment, but 20 years ago began to invest in agriculture, also purchasing vineyards from the co-operative within Maiolati Spontini. Slowly Gennaro Pieralisi and his son Andrea have developed their winemaking capabilities and production.

Although initially focused around the Verdicchio grape, over the last 10 years they have also developed a range of red wines from their own estate fruit. They use state-of-the-art technology, and as they have grown they have strived to improve quality and reduce yields.

The appointment of talented young winemaker Simone Schiaffino, and collaboration with renowned Italian winemaking consultant Carlo Ferrini since the 2015 vintage, has added a new depth and complexity to their portfolio.
